Cyclodextrins in Pharmaceutics, Cosmetics, and Biomedicine: Current and Future Industrial Applications

An in–depth look at the state of the art of cyclodextrin applications
Owing to their unique properties, cyclodextrin complexes are finding new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, and biomedical research, among others. This book covers the scientific essentials of cyclodextrins along with a thorough review of their applications, providing an authoritative, up–to–date reference to this evolving field.
Written by an international group of experts, the book explores a wide range of vital topics, from pharmaceutical usage to innovative drug delivery systems to drug–targeting strategies using cyclodextrin derivatives. The authors discuss physicochemical and biological properties, examine the latest outcomes in cyclodextrin use, and consider every step of the way for both present and future applications. Coverage includes:
The molecular and supramolecular aspects of cyclodextrin physicochemistry
Applications of cyclodextrins in different delivery routes, including topical, mucosal, and oral
The advantages of using cyclodextrins as excipients in pharmaceutical formulations and effect on bioavailability of drugs as a result of cyclodextrin complexation
Cyclodextrin–based nanoparticles, nanosponges, nanoassemblies, and hydrogels
Gene delivery, biotechnology applications, and cellular interactions
The regulatory status and safety profiles of cyclodextrins
Cyclodextrins in Pharmaceutics, Cosmetics, and Biomedicine is an essential resource for researchers in pharmaceuticals, biomedicine, food, and cosmetics, as well as professionals working with pharmaceutical formulations and novel drug–delivery systems.
